“Eva’s services are the best gift you can give yourself as a parent, period.”
“Eva supported us as a postpartum night doula for 2 months, and words can’t really express how much she helped us. As first time parents without family nearby, we valued the support, stability and knowledge that she brought into our home. I was able to take the space and time to rest at night, which my body and soul needed. I knew that my daughter was in great hands with Eva.”

“Eva made sure I was as comfortable as possible, well nourished and rested, exercising and moving to help the birth process along.”
Birth doula
"Due to sudden pregnancy complications, I had to give birth to my baby over a month early. Luckily we had been working on our birth plan with Eva by then. Eva was with us in the hospital right away, after packing up a bag for me with clothes and goodies.
(I read books and attended a childbirth preparation class, but having Eva with us during the labor process was invaluable.)
(My mother is from Mexico and speaks very little English, and my birthing partner speaks no Spanish. Eva made sure everyone was well-informed and felt included and reassured, especially my mom, who was understandably nervous!)
My induction process was long, uncomfortable, and painful at times. Eva provided me with a kind of support I could not get from my mom, my birthing partner, or the healthcare staff. She made sure I was as comfortable as possible, well nourished and rested, exercising and moving to help the birth process along.
When I ultimately underwent a C-section, I was confident we had done all we could to try to have a vaginal delivery, and I also felt physically and emotionally well taken care of and ready, which helped enormously to face the surgery and set me up for a speedier recovery.
Postpartum doula
Eva has been taking care of us as a birthing doula and now as a postpartum doula. She has been helping me with my breastfeeding journey--having given birth to a preemie, it's been challenging to get the milk supply I need and getting my baby to her weight. Eva is very knowledgeable and kind, and her suggestions for feeding my baby (both breast and formula-based); as well as support for myself for making this process sustainable and as comfortable as possible (via delicious meals and beverages to increase milk supply, optimal positions and setups for feeding my baby) have been key.

“What can I say. We all need an Eva in our lives.”
Eva’s knowledge and adaptability to our circumstances made her essential in bringing our son into the world. Her care comes through in everything she does. From emotional support to the amazing meals she would prepare. We are so lucky to have Eva in our life and as part of our son’s life, too.

“She regularly checked in when she wasn't with us, demonstrating a level of concern that went above and beyond our expectations.”
“We are beyond grateful for the support Eva provided during the crucial first two months after our baby's arrival! We welcomed our first newborn into the world and Eva brought a sense of stability that we needed during this drastic transition.
Eva's genuine care and dedication to our baby were evident in every interaction. She regularly checked in when she wasn't with us, demonstrating a level of concern that went above and beyond our expectations. Her gentle and considerate approach created a warm and comforting atmosphere. She wore a mask without fail, prioritizing our baby's well-being and going the extra mile to minimize any potential risks.
During some tough moments, Eva's expertise shone through. She navigated Kate's recovery, provided invaluable guidance through breastfeeding and pumping challenges, and skillfully addressed feeding and spit-up issues with grace and confidence.
And let's not forget our four-legged family member—Eva's friendly and sweet interactions with our feisty dog formed a bond that was both heartwarming and unexpected.
As an extra treat for us, Eva really impressed us with her culinary skills—her Chicken Picatta is nothing short of a culinary masterpiece. Her meals not only nourished our bodies but also lifted our spirits during those challenging sleep-deprived nights.
In conclusion, Eva is a doula extraordinaire! Her culinary delights, genuine care, and expertise made the early days of parenthood not just manageable, but enjoyable. We wholeheartedly recommend Eva to any new parents seeking exceptional support during this special time.”

“Eva’s knowledge and support was critical through our experience.”
"My partner and I feel so lucky to have had Eva as our birth doula. Beforehand, she helped us prep and consider our preferences for birth. And then while in labor, she was invaluable. As first-time parents, without Eva, it would have been a much scarier experience."
– Carmen and Giorgio
“We are forever grateful to Eva for teaching us how to be confident parents and cannot wait to work with her again next time."
"We love Eva. It was our first child, we had no idea what to expect, and Eva was our Mary Poppins. She answered anxious first-time parent questions, taught us baby care basics, helped organize our son's nursery, cooked delicious meals, and established healthy sleep habits for our son from week one. I needed to return to the hospital on her third night with our family and my husband and I were at ease knowing our son was safe and well cared for by Eva. Not only was her hands-on help invaluable, she was an incredible resource as we navigated formula feeding and sleep training. We are forever grateful to Eva for teaching us how to be confident parents and cannot wait to work with her again next time."
